Hi all, I've recently performed a rewrite of the TSOP (EVO M8+) on my PAL console, using the Hexen CD but i am unable to run backups. I've tried the following scenarios Game tested: Psychonauts PAL Original DVD OK DVD2XBOX OK FTP or Burned DVD NOK (gets booted back to unleashX) Original and iso are from the same game to eliminate other variables (ISO is also PAL) but it doesn't boot. Any guesses of what might be wrong? I'm more concerned about not being able to FTP as i wan't to remove dependencies from the hardware that can fail overtime more...

I recently took my old xecuter 2 modded 1.4 xbox out of storage and have replaced the drive and removed the clock cap and its working great. The only issue is if i power off for a few mins and then power on I get a blank screen and it wont boot. If i disable the mod chip and go into the normal OS its looking to set the time(fair enough as i removed the cap). Once i set the time and enable the mod chip it boots fine. Is there a way to hard set the time so this doesn't always happen. My UnleashX front end gets the time from the internet correctly anyway. Any help or guidance...

To be honest I'm just not sure If I should swap my softmoded MB to the halo edition or softmod them both. I honestly want to sell the MB but I donk know how to show its a Halo Edition on the /MB. ANY ideas ?

LOL. Well here is some of my collection. I am a bit unorganized so don't judge..LOL My wife calls me a hoarder...Silly woman. I am in the process of cleaning up and organizing the collections very soon though. So this could be a before and after scenario. Enjoy.

Hello, I was flashing the xbox version of the tsop 256 kb with the plug, half finished the process and after this the screen is black. I installed the xchanger chip, the console works, is there any chance to repair the tsop? Regards

After a Tsop and 1tb HD install - I had Ninja Massive, a few Xbox games and Emulators working fine. This morning I go to power it on, everything looks fine but it will not Boot any of the above mentioned. Loads for a few minutes and returns me to UnleashX Dash. I cleared the cache and don't know what else it could be. Any tips or help with this is greatly appreciated ;(

Hi Guys. I recently picked up a Halo Edition Original Xbox that has not been modded. It is completely stock. It powers on and has a solid green light around the eject button, however the drive will not eject and it does not output video or audio. I have tried both component cables as well as composite cables that work with another Xbox. I have also searched the web for help but have not come up with anything. Do you guys have any ideas as to what could be wrong? Could I possibly have bad video and audio output chips? Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions you might have.

Hi Everyone, I have a Winbond TSOP flashed 1.4 xbox, Using EvoX M8+ F and G bios. Used the Hexen 2018 disc. just upgraded to a WD 2TB HDD. After upgrading I got a black screen. I put everything back to normal (original HDD) and is working. The adapter I'm using: SATA Adapter Cable I'm using: 80 wire cable Video of xbox turning on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTHcKnIUwF4 After looking at the SATA to IDE adapter, the capacitors looks bad. They have some white stuff. Could this be the adapter? the adapter is set to master...

xbox boots 3 times no image or audio i found this xbox the way it is i think its missing a cable to activate the chip ! maybe someone knows where i can buy the cable if not its up for sale shipping outside europe is expensive has 120gb hdd

As the title reads - is there a simple way or tutorial to remap the Start/back buttons that bring you back to CoinOps menu when you're on a game? Reason I desperately need this is because I'm running one of my Xbox's in a Jamma Arcade cabinet, connected through a daughterboard known as the Viletim Card. This card, along with 2 hackpads wired to jamma fingerboard, converts the gamepad controls to my arcade control panel...with the exception of the dreaded back button. Every time I need to plug in a gamepad in order to use that button combo for main CoinOp game selection....

An old friend of mine gave me 2 transparent Ghostcases years back (I know they're terrible). I'd like to know if there's a specific spray paint out there that dries on with a light transparency. Looking to do a blue. Any links or info is greatly appreciated!

So I recently put an xbox into a PC case, and now its fragging. I have some questions. Does every single mobo hole need to be secured for grounding reasons? I have 6 in and its very sturdy. the pads on the bottom of the PSU are also contacting the same metal as the mobo like in the xbox. Its possible one broke in the procedure but I was very gentle. Any info will help, thanks

Not sure where to post this but wanted to let people know to check everywhere for lost items. I thought I looked everywhere for my og xbox component cables in my shed, video game extras totes, garage,....but I wanted a coax cable and I knew I had one connected in my living room that wasn't being used. While grabbing the coaxial I noticed some component cables in the back and thought they were for a 360. I decided to take them off because I don't have a 360 anymore. To my surprise they were xbox component cables !!! I haven't had an OG xbox for over a year and a half!!!!!!! They're Original...

I was wondering if there are any populated XBconnect alternatives that people use to play games online with the xbox nowadays. I came across Xlink Kait, but was curious if there are any others that I may be unaware of.

I've actually seen a few people talking about this all ready here and on facebook but just wanted to share it for those who haven't. A full tutorial on how to install a custom LCD screen in your original Xbox (NON-X3) that has a temperature monitor so you can constantly see what temp your console is running at to help prolong the lifespan and keep things cool! You can see it on my website by clicking the link below: Tutorial on how to install an LCD screen in your original Xbox console

I'm reading all of this (http://coinops.ninja/readme-ninja.html ) to see if I can figure it out but thought I would ask anyway. How do I add the vison packs so they show in Ninja? I would assume copy everything over except for these items as stated in the read me : "Vision Packs are supported in NINJA. But you need to swap the 3 MyVideo.xml files located in \skin\Default\720p\ \skin\Wheel\720p\ \skin\Wheel Fade\720p\ with the corresponding one from \- Help and ShortCuts\- Common Reconfig Helpers\Full Animation Skins\skin\... \720p\MyVideo.xml. This enables all art...

Ok this is really frustrating. The xbox flashes green/red (restarts 3 times). And I can't figure out what I've done wrong here. I felt like the job went really smooth. I have also cut the trace near the xbox chip (so it cannot boot from the xbox's bios anymore, right?). I tried desoldering everything, replacing the wires, removing unused pins, adding them back. Grounding D0 (Even though I cut the trace, I decided to try). What else can I try? This was my precious crystal xbox too, and was excited to get the job done Edit: I tried the Aladdin modchip in a 1.4...

So it seems like I attempted something I shouldn't when installing the aladdin chip. After soldering the wire to the pad, I did the wiggle test and it came loose, including the pad itself. The Xbox still seems to operate normally. Is it broken now? There's (obviously) no continuity on this trace now. Is there anywhere else I can solder D0 to ground?

hey everyone, i replaced the cap in my 1.6 xbox and also finished the modchip (atleast i hope i did) and before i hooked up the dvd drive and hdd i tried to test it but all it does is come on and then go off and it does it twice and then on the last time it comes on and flashes red and green over and over, the mod chip has a orange light on and i am also attaching some pictures of my wire job let me know if i did something incorrectly EDIT: i looked for a different diagram and found i had done two wires wrong and now it is booting perfectly!

http://www.ogxbox.com - I've been working to recreate the skin download function of UnleashX. I have it partially working, but it has a pretty significant bug. I need some help solving if. If anyone knows James, the developer of UnleashX I'd love to get some pointers or even the source code if he co...

There will be some aesthetic improvements in the future, but the xbox is functionally finalized. I'll be writing up a tutorial and parts list soon.

In this video, I've taken an Intec screen for xbox, and replaced the screen with a 7" backup camera screen. It's all powered by the batteries in the xbox.
